Taiwan Expo USA 2025 is coming to Dallas Aug. 14–16, spotlighting the growing economic partnership between Taiwan, Texas, and the U.S. The three-day event at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center underscores North Texas' increasing importance in global supply chains and advanced manufacturing, as Taiwanese chipmaker Wistron considers building two AI-focused facilities in Fort Worth.
The expo opens Aug. 14 with a 10:30 a.m. ceremony featuring remarks from leaders, including James C. F. Huang, chairman of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), and Taiwan’s Minister of Economic Affairs Kuo Jyh-Huei. A media briefing with Chairman Huang will follow.
That afternoon, the Taiwan–U.S. Supply Chain Cooperation Forum will bring together senior executives from Foxconn USA, Phison Technology, GlobalWafers, and AMD. The forum will examine Taiwan’s evolving role in global supply chains and its alignment with U.S. reshoring strategies, with a focus on semiconductors, smart logistics, and advanced manufacturing.
The expo comes at a pivotal moment for the region. In June, Fort Worth’s City Council approved tax incentives for Wistron, which is considering two major AI supercomputer facilities in Denton County in partnership with Nvidia. The proposed $687 million investment would create 888 jobs and add more than 1 million square feet of industrial space.
Fort Worth is competing with El Paso, Nashville, and Fremont, California, for the project.
Wistron is one of several Taiwanese tech giants expanding in the U.S. Nvidia announced plans in April to produce up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure in partnership with manufacturers like Wistron and Foxconn.
Dallas-Fort Worth is already a key player in this economic corridor. In 2023, TAITRA opened its fifth U.S. office in Dallas, and in 2024, Taiwan and Texas signed a landmark economic cooperation agreement. Taiwanese investment in Texas has now surpassed $10 billion.
